Late Return Fee (PILOT Programs only)
$0.95 per-title, per-day.

Damage Title Fee
Fee amounts are derived by determining the depreciation amount of the damaged title. We do understand that title's experience normal wear and use.

If cancelling a subscription, the cancellation will take effect after the cancelling subscribers current billing cycle concludes. In the event a subscriber's credit card on file has expired or is no longer accepted by Tradersbrain credit processing company, the subscriber will be requested to provide new valid credit card information within 72 hours of the initial request. If no new valid credit card information is provided within 72 hours of initial request for information, Tradersbrain reserves the right to place subscriber's account in 'Inactive' standing. In 'Inactive' standing no check-out request by the subscriber in 'Inactive' standing will be honored. In addition, if subscriber in 'Inactive' standing has Tradersbrain title(s) on check-out, Tradersbrain will demand return of titles immediately. If titles are not returned, within a period determined by Tradersbrain, Tradersbrain will seek remedy by means of collection and/or reporting to appropriate credit agencies.
